My invention has for itsobject' to provide simple, compact, reliable and convenient means for applying a standardlbayont to a shot gun or rifle, as maybe desired.

\Vith these ends in view, my invention consists v.in .-a self-contained bayonet-mount adapted to be installed directly upon and solely supported by themuzzle-end of a gun-barrel and to have a bayonet removably mounted upon it. 1

My invention further consists in a selfcontained bayonet-mount adapted to be installed directly upon and solelysupported the muzzle-end of a gun-barrel and formed at its forward end with a forwardly projecting guard-mounting stud, and at its rear end with a dependingpommel-mounting fastening lug.

My invention further consists in a selfcontained bayonet-mount having certain details ,of construction and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and pointed'out in the claims.

In carrying out my. invention, as herein shown, I employ a bayonet-mount consistmg of a sleeve 5 adapted in internal diameter to he slipped over the muzzle-end of a shot-gun barrel 6, and slit throughout its length, on one side of its longitudinal center as at 7, to adapt itto be clamped directly Specification of Letters Patent.

and supported solely by the barrel,'for which purpose transversely arranged clamping-screws 8 are employed, these clampingscrews being positioned to engage with the under face of the barrel as at 9, as clearly shown inFig. 4, so as to prevent the mount sizeto enter a circular opening 12 of slightly e e K Patented Mar. 19,1918.

larger diameter, in the projecting upper end of the guard 13 of an ordinary bayonet'hav: ing, as shown, a blade 14, a grip 1 5, and a pommel 16. By preference the bayonet will be of standard construction and dimensions.

The rear end of'my improved bayonetrated therefrom by 'a shaped hand-clearance space18. The said lug 17 is formed at its lower end with two horizontal bearingflanges '19: and "with a T-shap'ed pominell'ockinghead20 separated fromthe said flanges 19 by parallel grooves 21 running lengthwise with the. gun, thesaid ,T-shaped A head being adapted to enter the" usualfre'ar- 'wardly opening T-shaped slot 22 formed in the pommel 16 of the bayonet near the upper face thereof. As shown, the pommel of the bayonet is provided with a transversely arranged sliding bayonet-catch 23 which engages when the bayonet is mounted, with the rear edge of the T-shaped head 20' for securing the bayonet in place.

As shown, the pommel-mounting lug 17 is formed in its rear face with a socket 2% for the reception of a magazine-supporting stud 25 which projects forward from the center of a cap 26 in the forward end of a tubular magazine 27 mounting a sliding forearm 28 and located directly below the gun-barrel 6. The lug 17 also carries, as herein shown, a sling-strap loop or swivel 29. To mount the bayonet, the opening 12 in its guard 13 is brought into line with the stud 11 of the bayonet-mount and at the same time the T-shaped slot 22 in its pommel 16 is brought into line with the T-shaped head 20-thereof, after which the bayonet is
